I was so excited when I saw this on Pinterest! I LOVE strawberries! And chocolate covered makes them even better! It's like you are eating dessert but being healthy at the same time...hehe if only that were true! This is a twist on the traditional chocolate covered strawberry, this is actually a chocolate filled strawberry. It was so simple to do and took less than 30 minutes!
Start with strawberries. The bigger the better because that means more chocolate! Cut off the stem and hull out the center with a sharp knife. Be sure to cut deep enough for the filling but don't cut all the way through.
We lined the strawberries up in an egg carton so they would sit up and be easy to fill. For 12 strawberries we used about a cup of chocolate chips for the filling. Just cover them with a paper towel and put in the microwave until melted, stirring every 30 seconds.
Once the chocolate is melted don't waste any time filling the strawberries. The chocolate will start to harden making it more difficult to pour.
Once the strawberries are full put them in the fridge to harden all the way. We had ours in the fridge while we ate dinner and they were set when we were ready for dessert. We did learn that the chocolate gets really hard the longer it is in the fridge so for our late night snack we let the strawberries is out for a few minutes before digging in!
It was so fun to make these with my sister, Mollie! She is staying with Kyle and I for the week and we are having so much fun! I love getting to spend this time with her! It is something we haven't gotten to do in so long!
